At first we thought these puffy pants were just an isolated fashion aberration on Naomi Campbell, but when Ashley Olsen was seen in the same week, sporting a similar pair, we recognized the beginning of a TREND. Maybe harem pants are a natural style retaliation for low-rise skinny pants. Worse of all, we might all be wearing these next year….
West Village residents on West 13th Street in New York have been wondering if a presidential candidate moved into the neighborhood. The streets are clogged with black SUVs full of bodyguards around the clock. It turned out it’s only Ashley and Mary-Kate Olsen. The twins rented a 10 room apartment with five bedrooms at the modest price (for them) of $12000 a month. One neighbor remarked that the girls “Certainly keep late hours. I was jogging early one morning and they were piling out of their gas guzzlers in their little club outfits.”

We find ourselves strangely attracted to these sunglasses that Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen are wearing – especially the ones on the right. Does anyone know where these glasses came from?

Ashley Olsen “the healthier looking twin” might be a whiz at negotiating business deals but she has a thing or two to learn about tipping. It seems she has become a frequent customer at Terroni, the hot new restaurant on Beverly. Her favorite dish is the eggplant pasta. Ashley often picks up large takeout orders – over a hundred dollars worth – and, according to our source, she NEVER tips! Does this girl who carries $10,000 handbags think takeout means no tip? Even WE know better than that!

Olsen watchers might be interested to know that Ashley and her assistant were seen at the Fairfax/Melrose newsstand around noon. (At least we THINK it was Ashley – she looked rather healthy and wore a fedora and skinny jeans.) Ashley grabbed all the new fashion mags- including W and Vogue, along with all the gossip mags, and paid the $97 tab with her black AX card. The two girls hopped into her black Mercedes and were gone before almost anyone noticed them.

Who would have guessed the Miss Sixty fashion show in New York would draw such a stellar front row celebrity crowd? Here’s a hot group you don’t see together very often: Ann Hathaway (holding her boyfriend’s knee,) Chloe Sevigny (with long blonde curls,) Ashley Olsen (keeping her distance from Mary-Kate and the Heath drama,) and new mom Milla Jovovich (wondering if she’ll fit into those Miss Sixty jeans yet.)
Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen are in London to introduce their clothing line at Harvey Nichols. They had a party at a restaurant to celebrate the occasion and GUESS WHO showed up – everybody’s favorite Amy Winehouse. Amy is known for NOT attending even important events where she might get an award. But she and husband Blake were happy to get all dressed up to welcome Mary-Kate and Ashley. Do you suppose they talked about fashion? This picture makes us wonder what they were all thinking at that moment.

Ashley Olsen popped into Moe’s flowers on Melrose Avenue, wearing a cashmere sweater with a marijuana plant on the back and tight jeans. She told the clerk she needed fifteen centerpieces – flower arrangements for a shower she was having for a friend at Chateau Marmont. She selected the flowers and was signing the charge slip when a cab slammed on the brakes outside the shop and three people jumped out. “It’s HER!” they squealed. The clerk looked worried when the tourists begged Ashley for a photo, but, according to our source, “she was very normal – sweet and obliging.” She said “Sure!” The fans went away happy and Ashley hopped into her black Mercedes SUV with tinted windows, and took off.
Don’t underestimate the smarts of Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen. Last week they turned 21 and had their private birthday dinner with around twenty-five of their nearest and dearest at Chateau Marmont. On Friday they had a BIG fancy party for 200 at their house and not only didn’t have to pay for it, but they earned money from it. But it wasn’t as much as they had hoped. They offered exclusive rights to the party and photos to magazines – hoping it would fetch a million dollars. The highest bidder paid $250,000 for the party exclusive AND paid for the entire event – another $200,000 at least. It’s a nice birthday present.
Introducing the new Bond Girls: Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen! One of the producers (who happens to be a female) of Daniel Craig’s next James Bond movie is very impressed with Ashley and Mary-Kate and really wants them in the 22nd 007 movie scheduled to start filming in 2008. The Olsens would be the first set of Bond twins. The producer is making the offer as appealing to the girls as possible – there will be no nudity or sex scenes. And the twins will play good girls – not villains. (ER’s Goran Visnjic is set to play a villain) The Olsens are seriously considering the offer. In the photo above, we’ve taken the liberty of morphing the twins photos with Bond girl Ursula Andress to give you a preview of what’s to come.
